[fluid-dev] fluid_player_add(synth, '-')

[Peter Billam]

Greetings,

fluidsynth.lua is now apparently approaching stability at 1.4:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/comp/lua/fluidsynth.html
and the two little apps which motivated it are working happily:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/fluadity.html
  http://www.pjb.com.au/midi/midi2wavs.html

So as my contribution to feature-creep, I'd like to suggest
  fluid_player_add(synth, '-')
should read the midi file from stdin.  I do a lot of this, eg:
  muscript -midi foo | midichord -f 0,2 -aco 4 | fluadity -
and it didn't work for me from the C-library itself,
so in fluadity I detect '-' and slurp into a tmp file ...

(I hope this isn't an RTFM...)

Thanks again,
Regards,
Peter Billam
